Are you cheating popup

  • Unknown's avatar

    What the heck is that little pop-up “Are you cheating?” that pops up sometimes on the WordPress.com site. I was trying to get help and I filled out the contact form 3 times. This really annoying message pops up “Are you cheating?” and my entries went blank and the page reloaded. Did my message go through? I don’t know.

    Plus if you’re someone who has been cheated on, that message is really enraging. But it’s particularly galling that I try to get help and instead I get more problems!

    But when I googled this, I saw people get it all over the wordpress.com infrastructure.

    I’d share a screenshot, but I can’t do that apparently on your forums.

    @wlburns – Are you affiliated with @alphabetpublishing, or are you experiencing the same issue? Is the problem specifically occurring on the Akismet contact form page?

    To include a screenshot, you can use the Image Block. Simply type “/image” on a separate line and select that block. Once we have this information, we will be able to provide better guidance.

    Oops. Alphabet Publish is my business account! This is me.
    OK notice the pink thing and the fact that it erased my message and info so there’s no way to know if it got submitted or not.
    Also can we please just do away with these stupid blocks? They are the least intuitive thing in the universe and apparently every instance works totally different. never heard of this /image thing before!

  • Thanks for the screen shot. We appreciate your patience, too. I’ve asked our team working on this feature to follow up with you via email.
